Book: The Kingdom matrix

This book questions how the church properly fits into the larger picture of God's activity.
It is based upon three solidly biblical yet highly controversial assumptions:
1) At any given moment, I am either building the Kingdom of God or the dominion of Darkness. Period.
2) It is possible to participate in church expansion and unintentionally be an agent for shrinking the Kingdom of God.
3) It is possible to unknowingly value the Kingdom of God before acknowledging the value of its Source: the King.

The Kingdom Matrix contais four worldview quadrants that describe the values and preferences of four unique segments of our world

Self Seekers
Brand Expanders
Kingdom Seekers
Kingdom Expanders

While an intellectual leap for many, this book is illustrated with humorous stories and commonplace examples, making it both an enjoyable and challenging read.

Reviews
Jeff Christopherson has a unique way of seeing things. I always enjoy talking with Jeff because he invariably offers a fresh, insightful perspective on issues that matter. This book is his magnum opus. In it he will challenge and inspire you and compel you to live your life differently after you read it. --Richard Blackaby, President of Blackaby Ministries

The Church needs to be awakened to the reality of the Kingdom of God--His global movement that will end around His throne with men and women from every tribe, tongue, people, and nation. There is no voice in contemporary culture that understands this more than Jeff Christopherson. I am so thankful for this book that speaks straight to the heart of this issue. May the awakening begin! --Vance Pitman, Senior Pastor of Hope Church in Las Vegas

Jeff Christopherson is one of the brightest missions minds in North America. In The Kingdom Matrix, he helps Christian leaders reconcile the altruistic impulses that so many unchurched people possess, with the hope of Christ that the church is uniquely positioned and commissioned to deliver. This isn't just a book of theories, but tested applications borne out of the context of his ministry. --Kevin Ezell, President of the North American Mission Board
